Gmail – Does Email Storage Calculate Per Plus Sign or Alias Address?

gmailgmail-filters

With Gmail you can arrange additional address aliases by appending + and any arbitrary string to your original login.

Example:

original account: johndoe@gmail.com
sample aliases: johndoe+subscriptions@gmail.com, johndoe+work@gmail.com, etc.

Do messages sent to an alias address add up to the original account's storage limit,
or by working with aliases can one get some additional storage, say: 2GB per alias?

Best Answer

Alias = mirror of the original or main email address. Therefore the disk space is shared between the two.

Good explanation over here.

An alias is essentially just a nickname for a mail account. The alias itself has no mailbox and all mail sent to it will be delivered to the mailbox it is mapped to.

Gmail – Filter Incoming Email Based on Plus Addressing

This is your regular email address:

example@gmail.com

This is your email with plus addressing:

example+seed@gmail.com

When you create a filter, just filter for messages sent To the one with the particular word after the plus (+) sign.

So your filter will look like this:

To: example+seed@gmail.com

Now you can just hand out that email address with the plus and seed word and any incoming mail sent to that will be filtered however you want to deal with it.
